The Su27's first flight was in 1977, 5 years after the first flight of the F15. Previously the west had claimed that the Soviet Union was at least a generation behind in fighter technology. The Su27 closes this gap and is the first eastern fighter which many western experts have claimed to be the best in the world. The first production versions first flew in 1981 and were basic in their avionics fit, since then they have been upgraded and improved to having a number of Multi Function Displays (MFDs) and quadruplex fly-by-wire flight controls.

The Su27 along with the smaller and similar Mig29 represent a leap in Russian aerospace technology.
